Dog owners are warned of risks from disease-carrying ticks

The multiplying and varied tick population is presenting a greater threat to British dogs and their owners.

sounds familiar.

O yaa. Same thing happened here with humans and animals and plants. Still happening. Yes, perhaps it is time to implement strict and stringent travel regulations and occupancy/residency regulations.

If that is the case so what is the best thing to use to get rid of them if they attatch themselves to the dog. Especially Border Collies who have problems to some spot ons.

Met a man the other week who thought there were two kinds of tick, the tiny ones and the fat ones...Thought everyone knew they swelled up for three days as they ingest blood then fall off to live on it.. I have given up here in deep rural Ireland trying to keep up with the ticks on my long haired cats. the damage if any is done as soon as they bite. Cannot use eg spot on as my two groom each other all the time.
